AGPT program

Overview

Funded by the Australian Government, the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) program provides comprehensive and flexible training which leads to fellowship of either the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) or the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM). Either fellowship allows a doctor to become vocationally registered as a general practitioner and practice unsupervised within Australia.

The training program is overseen by the Commonwealth Department of Health and is delivered by Regional Training Organisations (RTOs). In Australia, there are 9 RTOs. Eastern Victoria GP Training delivers training in eastern, north eastern and south eastern Melbourne metropolitan areas, the Mornington Peninsula, and Gippsland region of Victoria.

AGPT Program Testimonials

"The thing I love about general practice is that I can have an impact on so many peoples' lives and that I am trusted with some of my patients most personal information. It really is a privilege."
Dr Billy Stoupas, GP Registrar and RLO

"The thing I love about general practice is the wide variety of patient presentations while also being able to tailor practice to my areas of interest. It's also great getting to know patients, their families, and being able to co-ordinate their health care."
Dr Adam Braithwaite, GP Registrar and RLO
